    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    It makes me laugh when products are made healthier by reducing the amount you get. Walkers crisps, now 20% less fat, well yes because there's less in the bag.

    Not here @simone_in_wiltshire, it behaves well in my dry, sandy soil and I like the fact that it is evergreen, grows in shade and flowers prolifically in spring.
